Maria Galletti is a woman on a mission to find rare varieties and propagate the "precious jewels" of the plant world, alpine plants. These incredibly small plants can be challenging to grow but at Alpines Mont Echo, Maria's garden and nursery in Sutton Quebec, she has found ways of growing them in the most difficult conditions. She has also grown in reputation, slowly evolving from an immigrant entrepreneur to battle her way through the male-dominated world of alpine plant hunters, only to find herself one of the most respected alpine specialists in the world.
